Since 1982, SoMat has been pioneering portable data acquisition systems and software for field and lab analysis. Our clients include advanced research firms as well as Fortune 500 companies around the globe that rely on the systems we develop to keep their competitive edge. From aerospace to the automotive industry and all parts in between, SoMat systems help some of the world's best companies go farther and faster through rugged and modular data acquisition systems that do what it takes to get the job done.

ECPU-PLUS Main Processor for eDAQFor the system that defines Rugged, Mobile Data Acquisition, it all starts here. The SoMat eDAQ Base Processor (ECPU-PLUS) is the foundation eDAQ systems are built from. Specifically designed for these applications; input power for the system operates in a wide range from 10-60 VDC. Internal back-up batteries also protect the eDAQ from unplanned power losses or low voltage events.

eDAQ Rugged Mobile DAQSets the standard for rugged, mobile data acquisition; a stand-alone sealed system designed for testing in the harshest of environments.

eDAQ-lite Rugged Mobile DAQThe eDAQlite is the go anywhere, test anything compact version of the SoMat eDAQ. Engineered using the same technology, the eDAQlite has similar leading-edge signal conditioning and a capacity to perform a broad range of on-board data processing, triggering, intelligent data storage, and complex computations. There is no learning curve, new software, or file formats; and systems can be seamlessly networked together.

eDAQXReDAQXR - The Next Great Rugged Data Acquisition System
Whether you’re a new customer looking for the ultimate in rugged data acquisition, or an existing eDAQ customer looking to preserve your current system, the eDAQXR is the right solution for your harsh environment testing. It is the perfect tool when conducting fatigue testing on any number of applications, including agriculture, construction, mining, automotive, recreational vehicles, military and much more.

EDIO eDAQ Digital Input-Output LayerThe SoMat eDAQ Digital Input/Output Layer (EDIO) is an extremely versatile layer that can measure digital inputs/outputs, pulse counters, quadrature decoders, vehicle bus, as well as GPS. The EDIO offers twenty four channels that can be used as digital inputs/outputs with twelve additional channels for wide range inputs.

EITB eDAQ Isolated Thermocouple LayerThe SoMat eDAQ Isolated Thermocouple Layer (EITB) measures temperatures on 8-channels of isolated thermocouple signal conditioning. Thermocouples come in several styles of dissimilar metals, or calibrations; and the EITB is available in the four most common calibration types (J, K, T and E). Each channel has individual cold junction compensation with isolation to 500V.

ELBAT-2 eDAQ-lite Battery LayerThe SoMat eDAQ-lite Battery Layer (ELBAT-2) is located below the eDAQ-lite in a machined aluminum enclosure. It attaches with four 8-32 screws to the base plate of the eDAQ-lite replacing the rubber feet. The feet can be relocated to the battery layer for mounting purposes. A short cable, with the eDAQ D-Sub power connector, connects to the eDAQ-lite and is also utilized for charging purposes.

ELCPU eDAQ-lite Base ProcessorThe SoMat eDAQ-lite Base Processor (ELCPU) is the foundation eDAQ-lite systems are built from. Specifically designed for rugged, mobile applications; input power for the system operates in a wide range from 10-60 VDC (with ELCPU-PLUS option). Internal back-up batteries also protect the eDAQ-lite from unplanned power losses or low voltage events.

ELDIO eDAQ-lite Digital Input-Output LayerThe SoMat eDAQ-lite Digital Input/Output Layer (ELDIO) is an extremely versatile layer that can measure digital inputs/outputs, pulse counters, quadrature decoders, vehicle bus, as well as GPS. The ELDIO offers eight channels that can be used as digital inputs/outputs with four additional channels for wide range inputs.

ELNTB eDAQ-lite Non-Isolated Thermocouple LayerThe SoMat eDAQ-lite Non-Isolated Thermocouple Layer (ELNTB) measures temperatures on 16-channels of non-isolated thermocouple signal conditioning. Thermocouples come in several styles of dissimilar metals, or calibrations; and the ELNTB is compatible with the four most common calibration types (J, K, T and E).

ENTB eDAQ Non-Isolated Thermocouple LayerThe SoMat eDAQ Non-Isolated Thermocouple Layer (ENTB) measures temperatures on 32-channels of non-isolated thermocouple signal conditioning. Thermocouples come in several styles of dissimilar metals, or calibrations; and the ELNTB is compatible with the four most common calibration types (J, K, T and E). Each channel is individually software-selectable between these calibrations.

Data Acquisition - SomatXR: Rugged/Mobile with web interface

CX22B-RSomatXR CX22B-R – Ultra-Ruggedized Data Recorder for Interactive Vehicle Testing
The ultra-ruggedized SomatXR CX22B-R data recorder is intended for use in harsh environments and reliably stores measured data in applications such as vehicle tests. The recorder records data from other SomatXR modules using an Ethernet connection. At the same time, FireWire allows its use as a gateway for direct data transmission to the PC. Both centralized and distributed measurement systems can thus be implemented.
Measured data is acquired with pre-installed catman measurement software and stored in .bin format. Conversion to other formats is easy. The convenient catman software solution can be tailored to suit your needs and provides extensive functions for analysis in the field to enable measured data to be visualized, analyzed, and stored.
Storage capacity: 180 GB
Degrees of protection: IP65 / IP67
Signal interfaces: USB, Ethernet, FireWire
Data format: .bin
